In this, his seventh book, Dr. Sommers has written an interesting combination of short stories covering a variety of important issues, as well as his usual quite humorous approach to life in Ireland and the United States. He explains here also many of the more interesting aspects of Irish mythology and beliefs that prevail to this very day, mostly in the west and northwest of Ireland. These mythologies were passed on via the oral tradition for thousands of years before they were copied down and passed along by the early Christian monks. These stories and folktales have since had a major influence on many of the great Irish authors, including Nobel Laureates William Butler Yeats and Seamus Heaney. They have also greatly influenced the works of other notable Irish writers such as George Russell, John Millington Synge, Lady Augusta Gregory, Brian Friel, and many others. On to the Otherworld also addresses some of the more important issues facing all of us living in the world today. Dr. Sommers hopes you will enjoy!
